Making business out of data

In the minor Business Analytics & Data Science you deepen your knowledge on various aspects in the field of data science. The minor offers a selection of advanced courses that deepen your expertise in Business Analytics and Data Science. It complements the Business Analytics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence bachelor programs at the VU by focusing on data collection, data-driven solution methods, and algorithmic approaches to complex problems.

The minor consists of 30 EC in total, with a choice of 4 courses, each worth 6 EC. One course of 6 EC is fixed for all students, ensuring a shared foundation across the program.

The courses you can select from depend on your background (Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence or Computer Science). If you do not meet the admission, we (highly) recommend you check out the minor Data Science.
